Just realised how close Halloween actually is???

Robo love the trees.......they are fabulous!!!! I am actually envious......::yes::

Sharky, good luck with the foot.....cant be pleasant!!


Fog this morning......quite nasty too. I went out grocery shopping and it`s not fun. Beginning to clear a little now, feels very autumnal today now sunshine is breaking through.

Have a good Tuesday........
 
It was lovely over the weekend here. Puffy clouds and the trees look amazing. I even managed to mow the grass before winter.

There has definitely been a nasty cold going round. I managed to just about get away with it. I had it but only a sore throat and brief headache for about 5 days and I was OK again.

Hows everybody doing??

I might have a wander over to the thread and see if Schumi has got a trip report on the go. :D
 
Hey all!

Tuesday = 'senior' day @ local stores...helps take the the sting out of being an moldy oldy.

Started Xmas shopping, ordered Furby connect for GD. Seriously, nearly fainted @ the price but was able to lop off $20 with target promo. Tossed in a Bop it game (which was always a favorite here)

Made my hot sausages for tonight. Think they taste better when they sit a bit and are reheated. Will freeze the leftovers after tossing over pasta tomorrow as my dumb family doesn't like them. They can forage on leftover chicken.

Robo love the decorations

Sharky owie!

.
:wave2: good, late afternoon Schumi.

Okay, what would you do? $200 difference between 6 nights and 8 nights at RPR, so stay the 8 nights, or pay more and stay 6. I have ressies for both, so just deciding. It would be leaving Wednesday instead of Friday. Mac, booked mouse from 1 to 5, and RPR 5 to 11 and RPR 5 to 13. Hoping the rates go down, but at least I have both and know the highest price I'd pay. Used the agency for the mouse. Great to have both in place, and agent said he'd keep a lookout for better, so there ya go. Already thinking about our DISmeets this coming October. :D

Cool fall day here, we're in the 50's, so with the breeze, bundled up some.

th


Time to drink your coffee all. Well, Schumi and I will be drinking more tea.

Enjoy your Monday, all, and hope Mac made it home safely from Atlanta.

Lol hmmm 6 days vs 8...A no brainer. I can justify it hehe.


I'm here and drinking :coffee:

Up at 11:30

Someone snored all night and it wasn't me so slept in after the noise was gone

Lynne rooms for that time period start at $200 a night
Might as go with the longer stay as more time for the buck

Send me a text and let me know if it is cheaper than what I am thinking to book at which is a base of $191.10

I'm cleaning the house once coffee time is over

Hope all homies have a good Monday

And what were we drinking? :)

Hehe, I always buy the candy I want to eat. We usually get about 12 to 15 kids, as were are off a major road with not countinuous sidewalk. Love to see the young ones growing up.

I am sure some of the local stores will be closed for Thanksgiving, but the mall and bigger box stores will be open if not in the afternoon, then at dinner time. I usually like to go out around 11pm, be done around midnight, and then sleep in. Otherwise, I go to sleep early, then go out around 5 am, and have a nice, sit down breakfast.

Hope you foot is feeling better Sharky.

I was born to shop but detest the idea of stores being open on the holidays. Of course I remember when our state had blue laws & stores were closed on Sundays when I was a kid
 


Hey Rachel.........hope you avoid getting the Lergy again, not much fun......

In the grocery store today I avoided one woman like the plague.......coughed all the way around and had no concept of covering her mouth when doing so.......a real pet hate of mine.......needless to say I never buy any loose food ever in stores......fruit and veg you can wash, but she was around the muffins and donuts that were uncovered...yuk........

Anyway, I'm rambling again......nice you to see you back........any trip report from you this time......or any wedding pics......

Janet.....you could never be described as a moldy oldy.........:D well done on the shopping too!!

I'm terrible.......I won't go near sales......fill me with horror. I had one friend used to go to Boxing Day sales and be there for 3.30am when the shop opened at something ridiculous like 5am.......regardless of weather.......not me......never feel as though I'm missing anything.


Full to bursting with dinner tonight........made macaroni and cheese casserole......but as usual I added too much pasta, chicken, cheese, cream, red peppers and butter :rolleyes1 Was delicious though.........my son's favourite meal of mine..........

Will need to move soon.......although DH is making me a cup of tea right now, so I can laze a bit longer.......:D
 
Mmmm...Mac and cheese sounds good Carole...save me some leftovers. It shouldn't take over a day to get there :duck:

Hope your fin heals quickly Sharky :goodvibes

I've had a touch of a cold or allergy this week...just feel blah with a constant drippy nose and body aches. It's a good thing that I have the next few days off. I had big plans to get the fall yard work and decorating done. Maybe next week.

Happy Tuesday homies:flower1:
 
That's funny Keisha, I remember the blue laws too, (car sales on a Sunday? nope still) and no retail stores open, and most grocery stores also closed early on Thanksgiving. In my young days, I'd go out at 4 or 5am on Black Friday, and shop to around 11 am. Now, I don't go as long, and depending on what's on sale, may be sleeping in. Slept in last year, there was nothing so urgent. I'll also be stalking Cyber Monday. Yep, I'll soon be able to get that "senior" discount. DH already gets AARP magazines. Old fart that he is, LOL

Schumi, that casserole sounds lush. I used to make many a mac and cheese, but not as much anymore. DD, apparently, has lost her fondness of cheese (well, except for cheesecake).

Gloriously sunny day, but the clouds are creeping in. We will be below freezing by the morning, and then a chilly rain. Gosh darn, have to probably wrap the mums and bring in the pumpkins. I hope we don' t get snow this Halloween. Forecast is to be overcast, but cool, in the 50's early in the evening. At least the kiddies won't be hot. I'll let DS sit outside and hand out the candy. He's the kid that wears shorts throughout the winter. Me, I'll be inside sipping a cup of tea, and watching TV.

Hope your fin with pins will be flipping soon, without pain Sharky.

Oh Tink, sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Hope you feel better soon too.

th
Yes it is, and Ugh, it's only Tuesday.
 


So we just got back from Key West less than 2 weeks ago. I just booked the same room for 12 nights next October. That will cover Molly's Birthday and our 8th Anniversary. We love it there!
 
Robo - Love your trees!

Sharky - I hope you foot gets better quickly.

Mac- The problem with me getting candy I like is that then I eat way too much of it before Halloween. I've gained back the weight I lost during my vacation thanks to Halloween candy. (I always lose a few pounds during theme park vacations thanks to all the walking).

Lynne- I'd do the longer time. We have a habit of planning a trip and then adding on a day. Then another. Sometimes even another. By the time the vacation comes around, we've extended it to the max and we've never regretted it.

No black Friday for me. I hate shopping in stores normally. I will not go near a mall or shopping center for anything other than groceries on weekends from Thanksgiving through New Year's if at all possible. Usually it is. I prefer to sit at the computer and click to buy. It's a lot less stressful. I probably won't get to start shopping until after Thanksgiving this year though - usually I like to be almost done by that. But with the move and all, I decided it's best to wait. Someone else will officially own our home in just 20 days. Eek!

Still fighting turning on the heat. It's been down to 67 every morning for the last three inside. But up to 70 in the house later on. It made it to 71 today inside. So - still not stuck below my heat point of 68 for long enough for me to turn it on. We're having the normal temp swing season - when it's 40 in the morning but 60 within a couple hours and can be 80 later on.
 
Ha!
I turned the heat on 30 minutes Ago when it dropped to 61

Ac will go on tomorrow as it will be 79 and then upper 80's days after

Think I have been southernized
Do not like it when it is 60 degrees

Mr Mac driving up to Kentucky tommorow for a canoe camping trip

I'll let him know how cold it is up there
Lol
 
Mr Mac is going to be in my neck of the woods! Hope he has fun!

My fin is SCREAMING today. I just spent a few hours standing/walking getting our yard decorated for Halloween. I'll share pics in a bit, my daughter took them then her phone died. booooo
Had a funny while testing the foggers... this very confused girl drives by and asks if our house is on fire. *le sigh*
 
Get better everyone with a bug... I love autumn but I hate the colds and flu that come with it.

I totally agree schumi, why can't people just learn to cover their mouths, especially around food! I had a major sniffer next to me on the train yesterday. Every other breath in was a loud sniff. And then the person opposite started doing it too! Stereo sniffing.

Sharky- that's amazing. I adore the way lots of people over in the states really celebrate halloween. It's fab!

Happy Wednesday everyone
 
Vicki and Lynne........oven tray was empty when I dished up........will make more next time......hop on over.....:rotfl:......no, Lynne, not a dish I usually eat but those 2 love it......and I have to say it was nice. Not a big pasta eater, except for lasagne.

Oh I hate sniffers Rachel........always feel like handing them a damn hanky........lol

mac.......our heating is set usually around 19/20C......which is 68/70F approx.........but if its colder I always turn thermostat up and put it on......although our house is very warm, we have a massive hallway with high open ceiling.....so I make sure we never cool down.......the aga keeps the house warm too.........although I am always getting told I shouldn't have the heating on and windows open........:confused3 I like fresh air and being warm at the same time........:rotfl:

Quite fresh today, but it`s a day in for me........ironing done, general vacuum and floors washed downstairs, new Cabana Bay Thread up and running.......not even had lunch yet......:scratchin
 
th
Yep, It's Wednesday, and Keisha needs her camel. Hump day indeed.

Schumi, busy morning already. Hope you have a great day. Lunch was probably fabulous, as always. Yes, I'll be over for mac and cheese anytime. LOL

Kolby, hope all is going well with the moving. Can't believe your old house will be sold in less than a month.

Sharky, sorry to hear you're still in pain, sending well wishes. And yes, pictures of your yard. Love seeing all the decorations. I only carve pumpkins to light up, and set on the steps. One of my neighbors does the whole fog and all. Looks cool. Stupid driver. LOL Smoke does not look like fog.

Sniff, sniff, had to scrape my car windows this morning. It's still October. Just isn't right to be below freezing overnight. LOL
Glorious sun in a clear sky to chase away the sliver of moon showing when I woke up.

Rain tomorrow, but that's okay, the 50's we'll get up to today will bump up to 60's, it's a southern rain. We'll take it. Many in my area are still in an almost drought condition.

So enjoy that cup of tea or coffee. It's Wednesday, and October's almost over. 8-)
 
Awwwww.... but i love October. Still its bonfire night here soon and this year I'm going to make it a priority to go to a fireworks night if I can.

Also I totally forgot to mention to you guys & gals. On this latest trip to USO i FINALLY got the secret music menu on rip ride rocket to work! I've never been a big fan of the music selection on the regular screens but this time I did two ride through listening to for whom the bell tolls - Metallica and paranoid - Black Sabbath. They were amazing! It really makes a difference in the ride experience if you're listening to songs that you love. :smooth:

Love the camel picture and the minions. and like you Schumi I also have the heating on and the windows a crack open... I don't think its odd.

68-70 is not warm enough!

Turn up the heat to where you can wear shorts in the house
Hahahahha


Even when we had a very tight budget, we never skimped on heat

I know it costs more to have a warm house but for our family it was worth it and budgeted for

Trying to sleep at night we needed it warm

I have a great room and two story living room ceiling and use the ceiling fans to pull the warm air down

With our present house newer than the past one, this one is better insulated which is a blessing

Find our utility bills are so much cheaper in the South
